[Huck]

Soylent Green is people!

[Lizavetta]

Bush's fault.

[Lizavetta]

And to think that adoption agencies charge $15-20K.

[coloradan]

Socialism is so destructive that people living under it for a few decades are reduced to selling their children because that is all they have left.

Nevertheless, many in this country (on both sides of the aisle) think that somehow, just somehow, it's different here, and we can make socialism work.

[happygrl]

Not amusing.

On another note, I quit watching Law and Order last nightafter a story about stolen children from Africa being found in wealthy white New Yorkers' homes.

Propaganda.

This story is the one they should be telling.

[OpusatFR]

And the feckless, useless UN and its cotery of socialist implementating NGO's continue to hector the West about reparations a la the Durban fiasco.

This, and the trade in people for modern day slavery throughout the world has got to stop.

[F16Fighter]

Police also recently uncovered a child-smuggling gang which had "rented" as many as 50 children and used them as beggars in Germany, Spain, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland. They were tortured by the gangs and police are investigating cases in which children were maimed to make them more likely to attract handouts.

Of course, the Democrats' "solution" for such evil would be "negotiations through the UN."

'I know one with blonde hair, green eyes, very beautiful, you will love her.'

Yes, but is she classy?

[cyborg]

heh... they're not telling any stories... children are pressed into slavery around the world and no one cares. No one who is important enough to do anything cares because children don't have anything to give them.

[GovernmentShrinker]

This is going on all over the world, while many self-righteous Americans are busy knocking themselves out trying to protect zygotes.

[Huck]

I've never seen Law and Order.

[Eva]

No, you don't get it, the left thinks that the US consumes too much of the world's wealth and that we should just share it with the rest of the world and make life more equitable. The Democrat motto for '04 is aim for mediocrity, it's only fair.

[joesnuffy]

The spread of socialism rather than Christianity to Godless countries is proof....

That madness is equal to doing the same thing over and over again...and each time expecting different results...

[mtbopfuyn]

children are sold by parents who say they have no other choice

What a steaming pile. There is a choice, several in fact. Isn't John Edward whining about raising taxes to care for America's poor, deprived, and starving children? Then could he explain why America is the only country who drives itself to the poorhouse.

[isthisnickcool]

According to the 9 (8,7,6,5....) Democrats running for president this story must be a mistake. Because America is the crappy country. Health care is crappy. The economy is crappy. The way we treat veterans is crappy. Education, Foreign Policy, Homeland Security? Crappy, crappy, crappy!

We pollute the environment. Etc, etc, etc.

It's really really bad here in America. Really bad. Worse place on Earth. That's what John Kerry says. He was in Vietnam you know. And surfs and flys and has a Harley and a really rich wife. But his life is crappy! Worse than than all the people in this story.

So, I don't believe any of this. Romania is a really nice place. It's better than America. John Kerry said so.

[presidio9]

Um, did you read the article dude?

[CalKat]

What are some of the other choices available?

[Arpege92]

"As some parents haggled in front of us about which of their children they would part with, but in none of the cases, notwithstanding the gun toting middleman, was it apprent that they did not care about their offspring."

Yea right. That's why a lady who can't afford her eight children already is pregnant with number nine. That tells me that these parents don't care about their children and look how easy it is to sell these kids. I bet the newborn children go like hotcakes to couples who can't have children. I have no sympathy for these parents....it's the children who break my heart. To actually learn that you were born because you could bring in a few extra bucks for mom and dad must really hurt.
